"I have been taking voice lessons with Jimmy for the last 5 months. I never had musical training and was not even sure I had a voice ..... but I really wa
nted to sing and decided to give it a try. Jimmy is very knowledgeable about both physical and mental/emotional aspects of singing. It has been quite a journey..... but now I know that I do indeed have a voice. Of course it was a lot of work - Jimmy always had a homework for me - but It still feels like a miracle.
I am looking forward to further lessons with him so that I can keep learning."

"Ms. Shoko is teaching my 6 year old son to play the piano. She's doing a great job. She makes it fun for him because he loves to be silly all the time. I
recommend her as a piano teacher."

"Kolja is great! I've taken lessons for various instruments since I was young and never had as much fun as I do in drum lessons. He has a great energy and
gives positive, constructive feedback. His years of experience as a drummer and instructor were immediately evident. I felt improvement even after the first week of practice! I appreciated that he took time to understand what I wanted out of drum lessons and how I prefer to learn. I have been wanting to start drumming for years and am so glad that I found Kolja!"

"Spiros is great! I've been taking bass lessons from him for a couple of years now and thanks to him, I can actually play now! He's a good teacher, teachin
g both elements of theory and also how to get the "feel" of music, and he's also fun to be around. I can say that without his lessons and the music he's sent me, I would not be nearly as good as I am today, nor as motivated to learn more."

"The only experience I had going into taking singing lessons with Nicole was Wii Sing It. I have evolved and gained many techniques from taking lessons so
far. Also Nicole has helped me gain better habits. She has very good ideas and is a fun person to be around. I am so glad that I take lessons from her and that we have bonded. I recommend Nicole to anybody looking for a good singing teacher and someone you can create a bond with."

"I've never played Guitar before and since trying to play, I have met so many teachers, none of them really helped and were impatient, but having had Billy
as my instructor, I have picked it up so quickly. Its only been a few weeks and I'm playing my favourite tunes. I highly, highly recommend! Very sweet and patient teacher, i'm still taking lessons with him :)"

I am a Rutgers University graduate with a B.A in Music Performance. I have played guitar for over 10 years, and currently perform all over the tri-state area as a solo acoustic performer and songwriter. I also play in several rock bands. I teach several students ages 5-65 right now, and have taught students how to play guitar for several years. In addition to playing in a rock band, I also am well versed in many music styles including jazz, pop, country and acoustic, songwriting, performance, music theory and recording skills/production.

I am a very flexible teacher and suit my teaching style and format to fit each specific student's interests and needs. My goal is to keep the student interested and make learning guitar a fun experience.
I like to find out the kind of music the student listens to, or what
they want to get out of playing guitar, and then mold my teaching around that. For instance, if a student or parent wants a formal musical education, I will teach how to read music notes and teach them from a book. If the student wants to learn simple songs and be able to play around the campfire for fun, I make sure to guide the student toward doing just that.
*** Studio Equipment ***
Dedicated lesson space. Guitars. Music stands. Music books. Seating for parents.
*** Travel Equipment ***
I provide my own instruments I would require them to have te instrument they want to learn available and the necessary power source and amp if needed.
*** Specialties ***
Rock country jazz mainly though I know classical music theory as well as counterpoint etc

Love to sing? I am available to teach private lessons or group lessons. My goal as a voice teacher is to help you find your own voice and sound in a healthy way. For the past 12 years, I have been dedicated to singing. I am fascinated by the multiple facets of the human voice and its extraordinary power to communicate, inspire and heal.
Professional singer and touring artist, mostly working on the jazz and contemporary classical scene in New York, I also have my own solo voice project. I use loops, samplers and electronics to build songs on the spot (Village Voice 10 best Concerts of the Week.)
I have a BFA in Jazz Vocal Studies and a Certificate in Somatic Voice Level 1. I also teach music in French for children. I am a student for life myself and I always keep studying new techniques to enrich my lessons and help my students in

I have a BFA in Jazz Vocal Studies and a Certificate in Somatic Voice Level 1. I also teach music in French for children. I am a student for life myself and I always keep studying new techniques to enrich my lessons and help my students in
the best way. My rule number one is to be open minded and patient. Every student is different and has specific needs that can be addressed with the right technique.
I love to teach any level, from beginners to professionals.
Together we will work on:
- vocal technique to open your possibilities as a singer in a healthy way
- breathing and posture through yoga and relaxation exercises to free your voice and body
- musicianship: ear training, sight reading
- improvisation
- composition
- recording: record your own song
- repertoire (build your own repertoire, chart writing, arranging, transposing tunes)
- electronic device (loops, samplers)
- music toys
- audition preparation
- performance and stage preparation
I love to teach as much as I love to perform and I am always very inspired to meet new students and to help them develop their creativity with their own voice and sound.

About Chloe
Chloe made her debut at only age eleven as soloist with the South Coast Symphony. Her solo debut at the young age of eleven as the soloist with the South Coast Symphony launched an impressive solo career for the young cellist. Soon after her debut, she was featured as a soloist with the Torrance Symphony Orchestra, Peninsula Symphony Orchestra, and Pacific Symphony Youth Orchestra. Her career as both a soloist and chamber musician has taken her to such distinguished venues such as The Kennedy Center, Carnegie Hall, Alice Tully Hall, David Geffen Hall, among others.
An avid collaborator, she is actively involved in chamber and orchestral endeavors. Her chamber interests led her to study at the Colburn School as a cellist in the Ed and Mari Chamber Music Institute. She has performed several times for Juilliard’s Chamberfest program in Alic
An avid collaborator, she is actively involved in chamber and orchestral endeavors. Her chamber interests led her to study at the Colburn School as a cellist in the Ed and Mari Chamber Music Institute. She has performed several times for Juilliard’s Chamberfest program in Alic
e Tully Hall, Peter Jay Sharp theatre, and Paul Hall. Chamber and orchestral studies have been with renowned artists Alan Gilbert, Maxim Eshkenazy, Peter Oundjian, Ida Kavafian, and Jerome Lowenthal. Chloe has been a fellow at the Aspen Music Festival and New York String Seminar. She most recently received a fellowship for the Verbier Festival Orchestra where she served as principal under the baton of Esa Pekka Salonen.

Chloe upholds a philosophy of promoting potential and the best in everybody. She does not believe in working in the same exact way for each student, as she knows that each person is different. She upholds this belief firmly as she is a very versatile musician. She searches for both the strengths and weaknesses of each person, allowing there to be ample support in both areas. Chloe believes in a fun and productive environment and looks forward to meeting each and every one of her students.
